Sure-Dry Before & After Photos

Before: A homeowner in Fond du Lac, WI was dealing with significant concrete settlement along the driveway, front walkway, and a side walkway running around the garage. Over time, several slabs had shifted unevenly, creating noticeable trip hazards and drainage issues around the home’s main exterior walking paths. The side walkway near the garage had become especially problematic, with sections sinking several inches and creating an unsafe, severely unlevel surface that made navigating the area difficult for both family members and visitors. These types of settlement issues are common throughout Fond du Lac County where fluctuating moisture conditions and Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles gradually weaken the soils beneath exterior concrete slabs.
The homeowner began searching for concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete step repair solutions after learning that traditional mudjacking and slab jacking methods often use heavier materials that can place additional stress on already unstable soils beneath the concrete surfaces.
After: Sure-Dry restored the settled concrete using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully lift and stabilize the driveway, front walkway, and side garage walkway. The side walkway required substantial adjustment, with the crew raising portions of the slab several inches to bring the concrete back toward a safe, level position. This advanced concrete lifting system is installed through small injection ports and expands beneath the slab to fill voids and restore stable support beneath the concrete surfaces. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps minimize future settlement caused by soil washout beneath the slabs.
To help protect the repaired concrete from future moisture intrusion, the team also sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant. This durable sealant helps reduce water penetration beneath the slabs, helping prevent additional movement and deterioration over time. The completed concrete leveling project restored safer access around the property, eliminated major tripping hazards, and significantly improved the appearance and functionality of the driveway and walkways.

Before

A homeowner in Fond du Lac, WI noticed their concrete patio had settled over the years, leaving sections uneven and creating a tripping hazard where family and guests gathered outdoors. Water was pooling on the low side of the patio after rain, a sign that soil beneath the slab had shifted due to Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and changing moisture conditions. Rather than removing and replacing the existing concrete, the homeowner contacted Sure-Dry for a professional concrete lifting solution.

After

Our team inspected the patio and located the voids that had developed beneath the slab before injecting PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam through small, strategically placed access holes. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement-based material, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill hidden voids, cures in minutes, and provides long-lasting stabilization without placing additional stress on the underlying soil. The patio was carefully lifted back to a level position, restoring a safe, even outdoor living space while improving drainage and extending the life of the existing concrete.

Before

The concrete area between the garage and the building at this Fond du Lac, WI property had settled over time, creating uneven slabs that made walking between the structures less safe and more inconvenient. The sunken concrete also allowed water to collect in low spots, increasing the potential for erosion beneath the slab and additional settlement. Like many properties in Wisconsin, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and changing soil moisture had contributed to the problem. The property owner wanted a cost-effective concrete leveling solution that would restore the existing concrete instead of replacing it.

After

Our crew inspected the affected slab, identified the underlying voids, and injected PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam beneath the concrete to precisely lift and stabilize the settled sections. Unlike traditional mudjacking (slab jacking), which uses a heavy cement slurry that can place additional weight on unstable soils, PolyLevel is lightweight, expands to fill hidden voids, cures in minutes, and delivers long-lasting support with minimal disruption. The completed project provided a smooth, safe walkway between the garage and building while extending the life of the existing concrete.
